Wedgwood Furniture
British
Arguably the most celebrated of all English ceramics makers, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by potter Josiah Wedgwood (1730–95) in Staffordshire, which was home at one time to hundreds of pottery workshops. The company is famed for its Jasperware — molded neoclassical stoneware vases, plates and other pieces inspired by ancient cameo glass, featuring white figures, scenes and decorative elements set in relief on a matte-colored background. The best-known background hue is light blue, but Wedgwood’s iconic silhouettes also appear on green, lilac, yellow, black and even white grounds. Some antique Wedgwood dinnerware pieces and other items feature three or more colors.
The Wedgwood firm first came to prominence for its tableware, which quickly gained favor in aristocratic households throughout Britain and Europe. In 1765, Wedgwood was commissioned to create a cream-colored earthenware service for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. The queen was so thrilled with her new china that Wedgwood was given permission to call himself “Potter to Her Majesty,” and the decorative style became known as Queen’s Ware.
Not to be outdone, Catherine the Great of Russia commissioned her own set of Wedgwood china in 1773. Nearly 200 years later, the firm created a 1,200-piece service for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In recent years, leading designers including Jasper Conran and Vera Wang have collaborated with Wedgwood — in the tradition of such distinguished 18th-century artists such as the painter George Stubbs and metalsmith Matthew Boulton.
From plates and other dinnerware to decorative items like urns, cachepots and candlesticks, Wedgwood designs lend a traditional air to Anglophile interiors. And even if you have to make your own tea, you may find it comforting to sip it from a delicate cup that was manufactured in the same Stoke-on-Trent kiln that produced Her Majesty’s tea service. Be sure to keep your pinky raised.

Trophy Plate, Wedgwood, circa 1900
By Wedgwood
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
Trophy plates were a particularly Victorian development at Wedgwood, taking the use of classical ornament to its absolute limit. Over 2,000 individual sprigs were made, applied, and undercut to produce this plate. Only the best decorators made these, beginning with Thomas Lovatt in the late 19th century - this is an example of his work.
The central relief depicts Bellerophon with Pegasus. Bellerophon was a noble hero of Corinth, known for his strength and bravery. He was the son of Glaucus and the grandson of Sisyphus, though some myths suggest he was actually the son of Poseidon. Bellerophon was a skilled warrior and sought to accomplish great deeds.

Questions About Wedgwood Furniture
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between Wedgewood and Wedgwood is in the design associations of the two words. Wedgwood is perhaps most commonly associated with the Wedgwood company. Arguably the most celebrated of all English ceramics makers, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by potter Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire, which was then home to hundreds of pottery workshops. The company is famed for its pieces inspired by ancient cameo glass, including Jasperware, molded Neoclassical stoneware vases, plates and other objects. These feature white figures, scenes and decorative elements set in relief on a matte-colored background. Generally, Wedgwood and Wedgewood are both surnames and the names of cities. You can find towns called Wedgwood in the UK, Texas and Washington state, and places named Wedgewood in Michigan and numerous Canadian provinces. Explore a variety of Wedgwood pottery on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024To tell how old your Wedgwood is, examine it for markings. Most Wedgwood pieces bear factory marks in an inconspicuous area, such as on the bottom or back. By comparing these markings to trusted online resources, you can usually get a rough idea of a piece’s age. For assistance with dating a particular piece, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Wedgwood pottery.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Yes, some antique Wedgwood is worth something. Jasperware produced during the 19th century and limited edition antique pieces are especially attractive to collectors. Generally, the type, style, age and condition will determine the value of Wedgwood china. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can provide an estimated value for your piece. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Wedgwood china.
- How can you tell Wedgwood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell Wedgwood apart from other makers, familiarize yourself with the markings used by the company over the years. You can usually find images of them on trusted online resources. Wedgwood typically etched its markings directly onto its pieces, so unlike paper labels, the hallmarks typically remain intact even on older items. By searching your piece for the appropriate markings, you can usually determine whether Wedgwood produced it. If you'd like an expert opinion, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can assist you. Explore a diverse assortment of Wedgwood china and porcelain.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends. The majority of Wedgwood products are made in Indonesia, with select high-end products like hand-painted figurines and the brand’s iconic blue and white china still being made in the UK. You can find antique and contemporary Wedgwood pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Where Wedgwood china is made today varies. The majority of the British manufacturer's pieces come from factories in Indonesia. However, some of its high-end figurines and china still originate from workshops in the United Kingdom. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of Wedgwood china.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if Wedgwood is real, study the mark of the brand. Ensure that the name is spelled properly with just one "E" and that the letters and logo are crisp and clear. Also, examine the white accents on the piece. If they seem flat and painted on, they are likely fake, as they appear raised on genuine Wedgwood. You'll find a range of expertly vetted Wedgwood on 1stDibs.
- Is Wedgwood still being made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Wedgwood is still being made as of December 2021. The company produces fine china and porcelain decorative objects. Potter Josiah Wedgwood founded it on May 1, 1759, in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Today, the Finnish company Fiskars Group owns it. You'll find a collection of Wedgwood on 1stDibs.
- Where is Wedgwood from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wedgwood is from Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Josiah Wedgwood founded it there in 1759. The company continues to produce its porcelain, china and other products at factories in the surrounding area. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of Wedgwood decorative objects.
- What is a Wedgwood plate?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Wedgwood plate is a flat round dish produced by Wedgwood, a manufacturer based in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, that opened in 1759. Depending on the design, the plates may function purely as decorative objects or be suitable for serving food. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Wedgwood plates.
